Avery Pearl and the Aquarium

The day started at Café Dumond. Avery, my niece had never been, so we hoped to capture a picture with powdered sugar all over her face. She, however, showed no interest in the beignets. Instead, her focus was on the man outside making figures out of balloons. On the way out, of course, we stopped and had the gentlemen make Avery one.

As we headed to the Aquarium, Avery stated, "Dad, can I give my balloon to Mimi (my mom)?" My brother, of course, replied yes. My mom then said to Avery, "What am I going to do with a teddy bear?" At which point, Avery stated very matter-of-factly, "Well you are going to sleep with it Mimi."


Once we arrived at the Aquarium Avery immediately jumped onto the fish below, waited patiently for me to grab my phone in order to take her picture, and said, "Let me pose." As soon as I'd captured the moment, she dismounted the fish, ran up to me and stated, "Can I look?" 

She's a handful, but a very good one.
